2007 End of Season Report Little Five BEARPAW MEADOW RANGER STATION 2007 END OF SEASON REPORT NINA WEISMAN This year the Bearpaw Meadow Ranger Station was staffed from June 23 to September 28, 2007. General Observations: This year I contacted over 1300 visitors, most of them on overnight backpacking trips but a few were dayhikers and stock users. Most of the stock use I witnessed was by Horse Corral Pack Station performing their twice weekly resupply trip for the High Sierra Camp. They also resupplied Outward Bound groups near Bearpaw a few times this season. All of these were daytime spot trips and didn’t involve grazing or camping. There were a few private groups that also received spot resupplies. The Hockett trail crew again had a few head of stock in Redwood Meadow at the beginning of the season. The upper part of the meadow designated for administrative use was very dry and had minimal forage so the crew got permission to move the stock to the lower, public, section of the meadow. This year I issued two citations in the backcountry. The first was for an illegal fire in 9 Lakes Basin. The second was for improper food storage at Pinto Lake camping area. I gave out 7 warnings for various issues. (see case cards) I did two medicals in the backcountry this season. The first was for (b) (6) who was the object of a SAR. J. Ziegler started the medical and I took over when I arrived. We stabilized (b) (6) and flew him out as soon as possible. The second medical was for abrasions suffered by falling into some bushes. In the frontcountry I participated in two medicals that resulted in ambulance transfers. It was a very dry season. The creek crossings were negligible and there was a concern about the distance between water sources late in the season. In spite of this, the water systems at both Bearpaw and Redwood Meadow had sufficient water all season, probably because the previous two years were so wet. Use Patterns: The High Sierra Trail gets the bulk of the traffic in the Bearpaw patrol area. Most of the contacts made on the trail are through hikers to Mt. Whitney. The loop over Kaweah Gap and Little Five Lakes is also popular. August again brought many Boy Scout troops and a few Sierra Club groups. Outward Bound continues its courses in the area. Most of the stock use in the area is day use. There are many spot trips and other resupplies that take place around the Bearpaw area. Horse Corral Pack Station resupplied the High Sierra Camp twice a week; Outward Bound about 4 times, brought in gear for guests of the Camp, and had a few private spot trips in the patrol area. I am not aware of any private stock use this season. The Hockett Crew had stock at Redwood Meadow again this season and moved them from the upper to the lower meadow when the meadow got so dry that there wasn’t much feed. I didn’t observe any out of bounds aircraft use in the area. There were many aircraft flying high over the area, though. I had no evidence of any hunting activity in the Bearpaw area but I did participate in hunting patrols while working in the Lodgepole area. Natural Resources: Wildlife: The Bearpaw area continues to have an abundance of wildlife. There were many bears in the area, the few that wandered into the High Sierra Camp were promptly hazed out and didn’t return. I received many reports of bear sightings but no incidents in the patrol area. The deer population seems to be very healthy. There were many in the area and most of the does had twins that they kept throughout the season. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have enough fear of humans and hang around the camping areas. I don’t think they’re getting any food, although they did chew up some salty clothing in the campground. There were again many mountain lion sightings in the patrol area. Some visitors actually saw a lion near 9-Mile creek and soon after saw blood and drag marks on the trail. Other visitors reported seeing lions around the patrol area throughout the season. Later in the summer, there were raptors everywhere during the migration. I wish I was able to identify more of them but I saw golden eagles, osprey, merlin, Cooper’s Hawk, Swainson’s Hawk, Sharp- Shinned Hawk, Goshawk, many Red-Tailed Hawk’s, possible Peregrine sighting near Precipice Lake and many others. The pair of Great Blue Herons that has been hanging around was seen in the Tamarack/Lone Pine Creek drainage. On the vegetation front the dry year really had an impact. Redwood Meadow was back to a sand pit in the upper reaches, although it seems to recover fully in wet years. Redwood Meadow 7/9/07 When Outward Bound requested service projects, I again had the groups pull cheat grass and did a talk about invasive species, weeds, seed control, etc. They seem to be very popular service projects. One thing I observed this year was that the Black Oaks, (Quercus kelloggi) had many shriveled leaves. It got very hot when they were leafing out and I think the trees lost a lot of energy when these young leaves dried up and they had to make new ones. I think this might have something to do with the dearth of acorns this season. Cultural Resources: There were no new observations of archaeological interest in the patrol area this year. The historic structures all wintered well and are in the same condition as last year. The historic pit toilet at Redwood Mdw. still has a hole in the back but it hasn’t grown. This year I couldn’t find the old operating diagrams for the Redwood cabin. I photographed them and put them on a cd and the office computer a couple of years ago. I hope the old paper copies turn up in the future. Backcountry Facilities: The Bearpaw cabin is holding up quite well and this year got a new water heater. The propane smell that was ever-present the last few years is finally gone! Also, the propane tanks seem to be lasting up to 15 days instead of 10 days, as in past years. Lodgepole maintenance arrived midseason to install it and it has been working perfectly since then. All other facets of the station are in good working condition. The propane refrigerator had to be turned upside down at the beginning of the season and it worked fine afterwards. (I found out they should be inverted once a year for proper functioning, who knew?) The Redwood cabin and tack room were well cared for by the Hockett trail crew and are ready for another season. I created a few new maps on the computer and a few new signs for bear boxes, etc. 6-1-15 did an excellent job of finding thick laminate plastic and sending me back durable signs. The previously ordered ‘NO FIRES’ sign for Pinto Lake hasn’t appeared yet, hopefully it will be ready to go out next season. Trails: The Kaweah trail crew again was in the Bearpaw patrol area all season. Tony Fiorino again was crew leader and did an excellent job. We worked together many times on blasts, campground projects and SAR’s. They helped fix a bulletin board in the Bearpaw campground and dug a new pit toilet there. They got a lot of trail work done and also helped on a SAR at false Moose Lake, covered many difficult miles, and found the patient. I really appreciate having them in the patrol area and I really felt like we were all one team out there. I hope they all return next season. The Hockett trail crew was in Redwood Meadow at the beginning of the season and cleared the lower trails and maintained the cabin and outbuildings there. Eric Davenport was the crew leader and hadn’t worked this area in many years. He did a lot of work with only a 3-person crew and fixed some long-standing problem spots on the trails in the area. Partway through their stay at Redwood, they asked to move their stock to the lower meadow, as the upper one was very dry. The move was approved and was a good idea. They did a very good job this summer and the area looked very clean when they left. Camp Areas: One commonality amongst all the camp areas this year: visitors seemed to be unable to pack out their toilet paper and I found it EVERYWHERE. It was much worse this year than in the past 15 or so years. The trailhead even gave out extra information on properly disposing of toilet paper but it didn’t help much. I think a somewhat different demographic visited the backcountry this season. The Bearpaw campground was quite manageable this season. Most campers cleaned up after themselves and regular cleaning seemed to be sufficient. There is still firewood available that hasn’t been burnt yet. One pit toilet was moved and the frame may be rebuilt next year. The bear boxes are all still functional. The High Sierra Camp again had five employees, still perfectly managed by (b) (6) . The crew got along really well this season and were always able and willing to help out whenever possible. They also gave visitors good information and assistance when necessary. Requiring all camp guests to get a wilderness permit has been a great asset in keeping people safe and keeping the wilderness clean.

From left to right: James T. Gardiner, Richard D. Cotter, William H. Brewer, and Clarence King. INTRODUCTION This field trip guide includes road logs for the three principal roadways on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada that are adjacent to, or pass through, parts of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (Figs. 1,2, 3). The roads include State Route 180 from Fresno to Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon Park (the Kings Canyon Highway), State Route 198 from Visalia to Sequoia Park ending near Grant Grove (the Generals Highway) and the Mineral King road (county route 375) from State Route 198 near Three Rivers to Mineral King. These roads provide a good overview of this part of the Sierra Nevada which lies in the middle of a 250 km span over which no roads completely cross the range. The Kings Canyon highway penetrates about three-quarters of the distance across the range and the State Route 198~Mineral King road traverses about one-half the distance (Figs.

    Glisan, Rodney L. Collection Object ID VM1993.001.003 Scope & Content Series 3: The Outing Committee of the Multnomah Athletic Club sponsored hiking and climbing trips for its members. Rodney Glisan participated as a leader on some of these events. As many as 30 people participated on these hikes. They usually travelled by train to the vicinity of the trailhead, and then took motor coaches or private cars for the remainder of the way. Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan. Trips included Mount Saint Helens Climb, July 4 and 5, 1915; Table Mountain Hike, November 14, 1915; Mount Adams Climb, July 1, 1916; and Beacon Rock Hike, November 4, 1917.
